To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Slavery was now reestablished by con- stitutional law, and the original plan of annexing the country to the American Republic was pressed by the South.
In 1842 Senator Calhoun declared that the annex- ation of Texas was essential to the extension of slavery, and that the extension of slavery was nee- 134 THE HAND OF GOD essary to preserve the balance of power between the North and the South, which in turn was neces- sary to the maintenance of the Union. A year earlier Senator Webster had declar
...ed against annex- ation for the reason that it would extend slavery within the Union.
The election of 1844 turned on this question, and President Folk's frank support of the proposal, as contrasted with Mr. Clay's trying to be on both sides at once, and thus dividing the opposition, de- termined the result. Having got so much, the pro- slavery interest naturally pressed for more. Even the acquisition of Texas did not equalize the two types of industrial civilization in their prospect for controlling the country.
